I had a PBEM opponent report the same behavior to me. He had recieved his MegaCampaign disk and installed it over SPWAW v7.0, thats when the problem started. To fix it he copied his 'save' and 'email' folders to a safe place, uninstalled SPWAW, then installed the Megacampaign and copied his folders back. He said it happened on his next turn again, but after that it started working properly.

Before going thru this you may want to try deleting your steel.prf file and restarting SPWAW. Steel.prf is the file that saves your preferences; when deleted it gets created again when you launch SPWAW.

Third time was the charm. after uninstalling and reloading the game. the 3rd try seemed to work. wonder what brings this on?
